On the 18th September 2026 Aussie icons were illuminated in blue to raise awareness of Dystonia!

Thank you to all our members and friends who travelled to see some of the Australian icons illuminated in blue and sent us photos!

Special thank you to the owners and operators of all the icons who generously agreed to light them up in blue for dystonia awareness. Unfortunately we do not have photos of the Ulverstone Bridge and Darwin Civic Centre which were also illuminated in blue.

We would like to acknowledge that a member, Barbara, forwarded us photos of the Perth Bell Tower, however the inclement weather impacted on the quality of the photos.
